Amaç:
Serebelopontin köşe (CPA) vasküler ve nöral yapıların anatomik etkileşimleri
işitsel-vestibüler semptomlarla ilişkili olduğu düşünülmektedir. Manyetik
rezonans görüntüleme, bu karmaşık anatomik bölgeyi değerlendirmek için tercih
edilen bir yöntem haline gelmiştir. Bu çalışmada, 3-boyutlu T2 ağırlıklı MRI
ile tinnitus hastalarda CPA’da vasküler loop
varyasyon ilişkisini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.



Materyal ve Metod:
Bu çalışmada, açıklanamayan tinnitus olan ve kulak MRI tetkiki yapılan 149
hasta yer almıştır. Hastaların tinnitusu olan kulakları çalışma grubunu,
şikâyet olmayan kulakları kontrol grubunu oluşturdu. Çift taraflı tinnitusu
olanlar iki taraf ayrı ayrı olarak çalışma grubuna dâhil edildi. MRI
taramaları, CPA’da vasküler varyasyon varlığına ilişkin olarak değerlendirildi.



Bulgular: Sol tarafta
tinnitusu olan hastalarda Tip 1 (CPA düzeyinde) (p=0.001) ve Tip A
(vestibüloklear ve/veya fasial ile temas) (p<0.001) vasküler loop anlamlı
derecede yüksekti. Sağ tarafta tinnitusu olan hastalarda, sadece Tip A vasküler loop anlamlı
derecede yüksekti (p=0.005). Çift taraflı tinnituslu hastalar için sağ kulakta
Tip 2 vasküler loop (internal akustik kanalı
proksimal [IAC]) (p=0.035) ve sol kulakta Tip A vasküler loop(p<0.001) anlamlı derecede yüksekti.



Sonuç: Bu çalışma, 3D T2W MRI kullanılarak tinnitus etyolojisini araştıran en
büyük ölçekli çalışmadır. CPA ve IAC’deki vasküler loop sıklığı öncelikle tanı tekniğine bağlıdır. Bulgularımız,
vasküler varyasyon nedenlerin yüksek çözünürlüklü görüntüleme yöntemleri
kullanılarak daha net gösterilebileceğini gösterdi. Buna göre, tedavi
seçenekleri etiyolojinin aydınlatılmasıyla daha iyi belirlenebilir.

Objective: Anatomical interactions
of vascular and neural structures at cerebellopontine angle (CPA) are
considered related to auditory-vestibular symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) has become the preferred method to visualize this complex anatomical
region. This study aimed to assess the relation of vascular loops at CPA with
clinical symptoms in patients with tinnitus using 3-dimensional (3D)
T2-weighted (T2W) MRI.

Materials and Methods: The study included 476 patients, grouped as those with and without
tinnitus, undergoing MRI for various clinical auditory symptoms. MRI scans were
assessed regarding the presence of vascular abnormalities at CPA.

Results: For the patients with
tinnitus on the left side, the frequencies of Type 1 vascular loop (at the CPA
level) (p=0.001) and Type A vascular loop (contact with the vestibulocochlear
and facial nerves) (p<0.001) vascular loops were significantly higher. For
the patients with tinnitus on the right side, only the frequency of Type A
vascular loop was significantly higher (p=0.005). For the patients with
bilateral tinnitus, Type 2 vascular loop (proximal to the internal auditory
canal [IAC]) on the right side (p=0.035) and Type A vascular loop on the left
side (p<0.001) were significantly higher.







Conclusion: This study is the largest scale study
investigating the tinnitus etiology using 3D T2W MRI. The frequency of vascular
loops at the CPA and IAC primarily depends on the diagnostic technique. Our
results indicated that vascular causes could be shown more clearly with the use
of high-resolution imaging methods. Accordingly, treatment options can be
better determined by the clarification of etiology.
